"A Mammoth Turtle,

While the steamer Flora Temple was

day, about fifteen miles off shore, Capt,
Montcalm Broward observed m i'm
mense black object floating on the sur
face OF the water. Upon approachipp if
he discovered that it was an immense
turtle OF some sort, which was lazily
sleeping on the surface of the water.
The captain secured q harpoon, and
when near enough he dcxterOusly threw
the weapon and succeeded in fixing il
firmly in the back Of the monster. It
was found impossible to raise this noun
tain OF flesh to the boat, so that the
captain attached hawser to the har-
poon, and taking it III tow, brought it
up to the city, arriving at Decotte's wood
yard about five o'clock, when the huge
object Was hauled out upon the shore,
where It's great size soon attracted q
'arge crowd who ga2cd with wonder at
the strange visitor. The weight os the
captain s catch was variously estimated
10 be from 1000 to 1900 pounds; it
measured across the anterior fully eight
1eet two inches, was seven feet two
inches from the end Of the nose to the
tip OF the tail, and perhaps eight feet in
circumference. The captain called his
catch a tortoise, but the News Herald
man identified It as peculiarly splendid

THE AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE.
SOME SUGGESTIONS ON A VERY I'M
PORTANT SUBJEcT.

"A Review of the Arguments Used Against
X Our Present System of Public Education
) To the Editor of The News and Couri
or: The question how we can best edu.
cate young men in order to fit them fol
/ life, and for its two-fold struggle, partly
against the adverse forces of nature,
partly against the ever increasing intel
lectual and industrial competition OF
other trained communities, should most
deeply engage every thoughtful and
patriotic citizen of the State. AS this
duty to the rising generation is ono of
the gravest that can possibly arise in the
whole category of individual, social and
civic responsibilities, it should be ap-
preached seriously, gravely, earnestly,
reverently, with an entire freedom from
prejudice and passion, and an eye single
to the ascertainment of truth. Unfortu-
nately the question of education has not
heretofore been considered in this earn
est, patriotic spirit.
The present controversy Git can scarce
ly be called discussion) over the best
methods of education of youth i'll the
studies "pertaining to agriculture and
the mechanic arts" bids fair to go the
way Of all others Of its kind, and to be
decided not on its merits, but in accord
ance with the way in which it affects
conflicting individual or local interests.
Now if this discussion were unimport-
ant, so that no great harm would result
from q decision in any direction, the
public could afford to leave O few dis
putants to fight it out. But inasmuch
as South Carolina has always been, aud
most probably always will be, an agri-
cultural State. in spite of booms and
tariffs and other alleged "diversifying"
Influences, SO that her chief wealth will
be derived directly from the soil by the
toll and sweat of q large proportion of
hor people, it is manifest necessity that
this problem of the improvement of her
extracted industries be solved with cor
rcctness and solved with dispatch.
In the fierce competition of the day
tho State has no time to lose. But q
blunder may be worse than O crime. A
false step may cost her thousands of
dollars directly and millions in its con.
sequences. She is, therefore, compelled
to avoid apathy on one hand and too
great haste on the other. She must act
promptly, but she must act wisely. She
must be sure she is right and then 90

loads of scrspers and other grading APP

to commence grading at this end OF the

mar.
His grading commences at the Sioux
river, south of the Omaha bridge, and
as soon as the surveyors have finished
cross. sectioning business begins. This
it ia expected will be on Monday.
Mr.. Davenport is camped east OF the
polishing works, and his fifteen or twenty
tents present quite an interesting sp-
pearaDce.I
The surveyors are working just ss hare
as they know how, and for all of the
rain yesterday they continued to GRIND
through it. Mr.. Davenport does no
know just how much he will grade, blu
| his orders are to proceed as rapidly q
possible.
He spent the spring and summer OF
the Montana extension. He speaks yer,
